It was very sweet of Aditya to say, ‘Yami, I want you to come in my film just for good luck and steal the frame.’ But it was so fun. To get directed by one of the finest directors was my fees.”Madhuri also shared her appreciation for Yami’s appearance, saying, “And it was fun to watch you in Dhurandhar The Revenge.

I want to celebrate this day with puran poli and ukadiche modak,'” she shared.Madhuri joined the conversation by talking about her own experience with pregnancy cravings. “I love ukadiche modak!

And now, he eats the spiciest food in our family,” she said.‘Kon Honar Crorepati’ airs from Monday to Saturday at 9 pm on Sony Marathi and streams on Sony LIV.
